Nasi Goreng 
From Singapore Hotels & Singapore Lifestyle
|
Nasi Goreng (Nasi is 'rice', Goreng is 'fried' in Malay) is the Indian Muslim version of fried rice. It is easily distinguishable with its trademark red color. The difference between Chinese Fried Rice and nasi goreng is that a variety of spices are used in the paste that gives the distinctive reddish color and flavor. Although it is redddish in color, it is usually not that spicy.
The authentic nasi goreng includes potatoes, well-minced mutton and vegetables (usually cabbage). Of course, like Chinese Fried Rice, egg is added in to give it the added aroma.
Visitors to Singapore should put this nasi goreng on their 'must-try' list of Local Food to taste the mastery of spices by the local Indians.
